Post links to your animation:2007

[Efalunt]

Wow, I've seen some very nice animations so far this year.
Here's ours: Green Energy - Team 830
We had some technical difficulties towards the end with compiling all our scenes and didn't have time to add the voiceover, which would've helped tie it together a bit better.

I couldn't find the final version to upload. It's somewhere in the jumble of drives and other data storage things. The final version doesn't include the stupid ending clip of myself and a freshman making fools out of ourselves.

Hey, Pete, your animation reminds me of another great animation I found ages ago. I love it when people use these fresh colors. Like the vivera ink marketing campaign. It's so powerful and striking.

That's Lemon Jelly! I love Lemon Jelly! I'm not sure if anybody I know has ever even heard of them.

(i.e. that's a music video of "Nice Weather for Ducks" by Lemon Jelly...they should really acknowledge it on that website.

hey Ryo, your animatin was great but you being the only other character animator I know in the whole robotics community i have to point out a few things.

I like the use of the people its just some of their movements seemed a little slow. You need more emphasis on anticipation. Like a slight down movement whent the character looks at something else. When he gets a bright Ideat you should make him jump a little. But really good concept. Your the only animation, other than ours, that tried to explain the "think green" theme through something else other than showing the most obvious ways. (showing earth, energy efficiant power, pollution, ect.)

Also make sure to use full use of squash and strech I think the bricks would have looked better if they squashed a little when they landed.

I dont want to sound like Im ripping apart your animation. I just giveing advice from one character animator to the next

Unfortunately we can't do that either thanks to the lovely administrative restrictions that the district has set... we are unable to install anything on our PCs at school.

Team 20's animation. It's not too amazing, but it's light years ahead of last year's.

Advice rocks. Without it, no one would go anywhere. Yes, many improvements there are. Have to practice more. Have to do many tutorials on shape keys and such.

Thank you very much for the comments.

And that Ducks animation! Thank you worldbringer for letting me know where the animation came from. Now, my soul can rest in peace.

I am slightly confused by this quote.

It was a reference to post 33.

One thing I found helpful was the tutorial about making cigarette smoke. Just modify the settings in that one to get what you want.

Here's Team 1732's animation. (The one on the left is the storyboard, on the right is the animation). Sorry, it might take some time to download.

It's not quite the level of some of the animations posted here, but we're all still learning the program (I'm a sophomore, and am the only one on the animation team whose used the program before...). I kinda like it though.

I like Team 114's animation. The apocalypse-style buildings are pretty cool. Will this "Jacob" be at Nationals? We need to schedule an animator meeting this year.

Trust me, I know all about proxies. Our school just got smart and started blocking users recently for using loopholes.
